Hi folks!
Inspired by the “Living your BEST life together as a family” postings made by Childhood 101 mom, Christie, I would like to pen down how and what I could start doing to live our Best life together as a family.
1. Exercise together
The kids really need to sweat it out..so do the adults. I am trying to get the children to get the dad to join them on their swimming and playground trips instead of zz-ing in bed during the restful weekends.
2. Clean and tidy house together
Having another baby on the way, means I will have less time to tidy up the house. I would have to move faster, and enlist help from the whole family members. Will have to make it fun and painless chores for all.
3. Plan and budget together
We really need to have smart spending and saving plans with an addition in the family.
4. Share our dreams together
We All have our dreams, the kids dream to have their mom be with them constantly, whereas the mommy dreamt of having a work from home option so that she could be with the kids more often. But action is required to realise this dream. By sharing it as a family, we can support each other better.
5. Listen, listen listen and share a moment of solitude with ourselves, with each member
One to one time is so important. I am definitely making more effort on this one..with DH, SE, KY, myself and with the baby.
Lots more to come..one thing for sure..I like myself to embrace change, to seek improvement each day and to be a more loving mom, wife and person. Less screaming, shouting; more hugs, smiles and kisses.
May God walk alongside me on this path of growth …
Cheers!

Dragon in Year 2013
Here's the reading on Dragon :)
Career: Last year, 2012, Dragon people have poor
social relationship. Lot of pressure and trouble came from the office. The
story will be totally different In the Snake year. Dragon people will receive
many helps and advice from friends, coworkers, boss or people caring about you
at work. If you job is required traveling or working in the field, then you
have better chance to show your performance and achievement. But you still need
to watch your words and behaviors. If any rumor or libel come toward you, the
you must carefully handle it. Don't argue with your jealous competitors.
Otherwise, the argument might ruin your public relationship and career luck in
2013.
Money: In Chinese Five Element theory, Snake is in
Fire group and contains some Earth. Snake just provides the support and advice
for Dragon. Snake cannot bring the money luck to Dragon. However, 2013 is a
Water Snake year. Water is the money to Dragon. Therefore, Dragon people have
better money opportunity in the first half of 2013. But the money income or
investment profit need to wait till winter time. The money luck of 2013 is
favorable to Dragon people who work for public media, broadcasting, performing
arts, social work, Internet, newspapers, TV, radio, telecommunications,
transportation and etc. The money luck is not from local, is from remote
locations or overseas.
Love: The social relationship of Dragon people will
be much better than 2012. In Chinese astrology, Dragon contains Male Earth,
Female Water and Female Wood. Snake contains Male Fire, Male Earth and Male
Metal. Wood in Dragon and Metal in Snake have attraction relationship. Water in
Dragon and Earth in Snake have attraction relationship, too. There are love
connections between Dragon and Snake. Therefore, Dragon people have good
opportunity to find a new relationship or develop a better relationship in
2013. But the relationship won't go too much deeper. This is because that
Dragon and Snake sometimes prefer to be alone.
Health: There is no major issues in the health area in
2013. Dragon people may not have a good mood or good luck last year. 2013 is a
year to recharge your energy. Dragon people should reserve more time for rest
and relax. You should be able to find time for outdoor excise. So you can
maintain your health in good level during year of Snake.

Monkey in Year 2013
You may find some of the reading from various side a bit different.. :)
From the one I read from TV, Monkey is having a fairly good year in the year of Snake :)
Below are the reading I found from another source ;) for Monkey folks!
Career: The Snake is in the Fire group. Fire brings
pressure on Monkey, which is in Metal group. Therefore, Monkey will encounter
the busy schedule in their job positions. The major stress will come from the
upper management level. However, Monkey is an intelligent, acute and sly
animal. They can handle the pressure from Snake. In the Chinese astrology,
Monkey and Snake have attraction relationship into Water. This means Monkey
will become smarter by learning the pressure of Fire. If Monkey people think
they are out-smarter than Snake and try to take the advantage on
Snake. Then Snake will try everything to damage Monkey's image. The
trouble will arrive sooner or later and Monkey won't have a peaceful mind in
the office. In general, as long as Monkey people don't show the arrogant or
snobbish attitude at work, the career luck of Monkey in 2013 is quite good. The
career opportunity is there, Monkey has to figure out how to take it.
Money: The Snake's people relationship is good in
2013. Snake people have nice career opportunity. Therefore, Monkey people
should have a stable income If they want to spend more time for their work,
then should be able to earn extra come. But there is a dispute sign in the
Snake year. If the dispute causes a lawsuit, then it will become a money loss.
If Monkey people need to travel or drive for their job, then they have to pay
attention on the safety. That dispute sign is also connected to the injury,
which will cost your money and time to recover.
Love: Basically, the love relationship for Monkey
people will go well in 2013, because Monkey and Snake have attraction
relationship into Water. But Monkey and Snake also have hurting relationship.
That means their relationship is mixing with love and hate. Sometimes, they
fight each other, then break up. But they will get back together later. Anyway,
Monkey people have better not gambling on this fragile relationship. They
should watch for their words and behavior to avoid unnecessary argument with
your lover, family members, relatives or the one you care. Any unhappy event
occurs, it will hurt the feeling of both sides for a while in 2013.

Year of Snake 2013
Hi folks!
As many of you would know, the coming year will be the Year of Snake after saying goodbye to the dragon year.
It is said Snake people are born charming and popular. Snakes are spotlight magnets, and they will not be ignored.

Peer group attention and public recognition are the least of
what they expect. Yet Snakes are never noisy or deliberately outspoken, and
they have have excellent manners.
Do you have such snake people around you? In my family, we have two people born in the year of Snake that is my dad and my father-in-law :) Both are very much a home-maker and a family man.
Below are some interesting compatibility with the Snake people ...just for fun! Stay tuned for more animal signs reading for my next coming post!
Cheers!
